It appears that maybe the rumors of Idaho Republican senator Larry Craig are true. That at the very least he has tried to solicit sex in a men's room and that he may be gay.
Now, this is not to gay-bash. If Sen. Craig, who is married with children and even grandchildren, is in fact gay, he needs to come out and deal with it. It is not a good thing to be a George Michael and troll for sex in men's rooms.
According to court records, Sen. Craig was arrested for lewd conduct in public, in this case a men's room at the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport. That was in June. Sen. Craig did not fight the charge but pled guilty. Sen. Craig paid a fine and is on one year unsupervised probation. Question of the day. Did Sen. Craig think this would just stay somewhere in the ether and no one would find out? If so, Sen. Craig must resign on grounds of stupidity alone!
Why this is more important than just another pervert politico trolling for sex anywhere anytime is that a creepy guy named Mike Rogers makes a career out of trying to out Republican homosexuals in office that he feels are hypocrites for not supporting the left-wing gay and lesbian agenda. Mr. Rogers wrote about Sen. Craig in 2006. And no one really picked up on until now.
Unfortunately, in cases like this where there is smoke, there is fire. And that is what has happened with Sen. Craig.
Oh, Sen. Craig mounted a pathetic defense saying that he was trying to get rid of this but that he should have hired a lawyer to fight the charges. Do you think?!
Here is a memo to Sen. Craig. When you are charged with lewd conduct in a men's room and you do not think that you are guilty, you get a lawyer and fight the charges like hell. When you don't, you essentially admit to the act.
Also, I firmly believe that it is perverted to troll for sex in toilets, whether it is straight or gay. There is the old saying, get a room. Sen. Craig should have tried that.
So, I think that Sen. Craig either better offer a helluva better defense or get out now. Resign. And come clean if you are gay. I think you owe to your wife and family. It may be painful, but what you may be doing is worse.
Republicans can not turn a blind eye to this. Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell needs to step in if necessary. If we expect Democrats to have standards, we Republicans have to as well.
Please Sen. Craig, resign for the party and your own good.
